Big TV shows that survived a change of channel

Thu, September 22, 2016

Bake off, take note. TV history reminds us that several shows have switched channels in the past and have continued to thrive for many years afterwards. Take a look a these shows that survived the move.

The Great British Bake Off - BBC to Channel 4. The cookery show will continue on Channel 4 without Mary Berry and hosts Mel & Sue

Because the show is pre-recorded, bookies do not offer odds on the contestants - but David Stevens of Coral said: “If we were able to bet on it, Candice would without doubt be the one to beat and the odds-on favourite to win the series.

"She’s performed consistently well throughout, but it was as early as episode two with her fantastic gingerbread pub when, in racing terms, she hit the front, and she’s been there ever since as far as we’re concerned.”

The Great British Bake Off continues next Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.
